Pea and Potato Risotto Soup - Recipe

Pea and Potato Risotto Soup is a hearty adaptation of the traditional Italian "Risi e bisi" than literally means "Rice and Peas". In Italy Risi e bisi soup was considered a royal dish and in the past was traditionally offered to the Doge of Venice (Lord of the Republic) during St. Mark's day celebrations. In the poorer rural areas, potatoes were often added or used as substitute for the more expensive peas.
